It was a total surprise and it was really fun. Gail was a total professional - and she had some bubbly for us to sip on throughout the session! She sure does know how to relax a subject!

New mama Jaimie Jolly did our make-up. She was super efficient, despite the heat of the afternoon sun beaming down on her, working magic in a few minutes. Jaimie was a total treat to have around and does make up for all sorts of events around Bancroft. Check out my "before Jaimie" and "after Jaimie" pictures below, with a list of the Arbonne products she used.

And then they surprised me with a new shirt and jacket from Posies (I hope you know about their awesome 70% and 50% off racks).

So, all in all, my new professional pictures were 100% locally produced, and I am really proud of that. Right now, Gail has a portrait special on where you can bring in one of her special vouchers and receive $100 off a two hour portrait session which features hair and makeup, a wardrobe consultation at the studio and 10 digital edited prints. You can get a voucher through me or pick one up at Gail's art and jewellery boutique on Hastings St. N (across from Bancroft Brew Pub and beside Hannah Lithographer's).

Here is a sneak peak at our session:

Here is the "before" and "after" effects of a professional make up artists like Jaimie. On my face, she used her medium concentration primer and neutral beige foundation. On my eyes, she used the shades slate, sunstone and opal as well as liquid eyeliner and black mascara. She used apricot blush and bronzer on my cheeks and the cosmos lip colour. All products are from Arbonne.

Ya, we had a lot of fun!
